Hi @Jezda1337, how are you?

Would it be possible to add the fosstorrents torrent iso link in distro-hub?

DistoHub only supports Linux operating systems. Is FossTorrents a type of Linux distribution? It seems like a superior version of DistroHub.

Hi @Jezda1337, how are you? (thanks for comment here.)

true.

No. FossTorrents is a website that indexes torrent files from Linux distributions. Please see this: distro-hub+ api fosstorrent?: I created a issue that talks in detail about the advantages and disadvantages of the api(fosstorrent) in distro-hub. In addition to the distr-hub problems that the api(foss-torrent) can solve.

Hey @nichdemos Initially, I planned to develop an application that would consist of various distribution profiles. The profiles would be created and maintained by the distribution owners themselves to ensure that the information provided is accurate. At first, I thought of scraping data from DistroWatch to populate the profiles, but I realized that would make DistroHub a mere replica of DistroWatch, so I decided against it. Currently, the app is still in development and not yet finished. I'm considering moving to another tech stack, possibly Astro and Go, and I'm open to contributions.
